I've had so many friends come and go. They start off full of enthusiasm.. interest drops off as the training get more difficult, and before you know it their out the door. And fair enough, if you want to train proper and by that I mean squat and deadlift as your foundation lifts, then it takes a certain mental attitude.

To be honest I prefer to go on my own. Get to go to gym, in and out, no BS piss farting around and chatting.

I know what you mean. I have gone through 15 workout partners over the last 3 years. Some have genuine reasons most are just pathetic.

people like us are an endangered species

Agreed. Man up, stop being a girl. If you need someone to motivate you then the battle is already lost.

Exactly.

It's awesome when you have a partner that has a similar vision as you, but that rarely is the case.

I like to go about my business alone and do my own thing with my favourite tunes on my ipod. I hate being interrupted by people I know in the gym.

Yeah personally im not a fan of a training partner, as people have said, you end up talking too much, and concentration is well lost, that and my workouts dont really require a spotter, a partner for me would only be there to help push me further, but atm my my dedication is there to do this!!

Yeah Anytime Fitness Woodcroft is good. I know one of the personal trainer's down there.

I'd go to Paragon but I'm liking the sauna too much at FF at the moment haha.
